I read that the Aloe vera that are spotless are more superior than those with spots. Are these the spotless species? Thanks.

Depends on the seller you buy them from. Artistic Solutions sells the spotless ones which are the true "Aloe Vera".

They are spotless. They're kind of skimpy though. Not very big. Skinny leafs... But they're good. Delivered clean and healthy.

The photo shown has spots because its not an aloe vera but an aloe affinis...Ours is aloe vera, spotless and very hardy. Unfortunately, we are unable to change the photo.

The photo shows aloe Affinis, This aloe is often grouped into the 'maculate' or spotted aloes- all stemless, heavily spotted aloes. Aloe Vera is spotless.

That's a question I can't answer with certainty. I've experienced yellowish edges on the leaves and some spots here and there. Not sure if it was from this product or something else. Overall my plants were ok.

Active Ingredient is Zinc Oxide. The first "inactive" ingredient is Aloe. If there is a specific ingredient you are looking for because you do not want it/or do want it in a sunscreen, please let me know. The list of ingredients are quite extensive, and I hesitate to type them all for fear of a mistake as they are all the typical unfamiliar "chemistry" names.

I just bought my first plant, and it arrived as a little tiny, but healthy plant, just about one month ago. I bought a Lady Margaret at the same time. Both are growing and appear to be healthy but the Lady Margaret is growing amazingly fast while my little Incense plant seems to be a slow grower. Both are healthy and appear to be happy. But one is really out pacing the other. I look forward to seeing both mature. Here is NC we have had a lot less sun than usual so that may be playing a part.

it comes in an aloe version that i prefer for my face, it's lighter. i use this on rest of body with added essential oils for insect repel. i also use the bar/liquid soaps & therapy shampoo/conditioner too when i know i will be outside during warm months- absolutely love these products.

No, this is only pure aloe gel that comes from the insides of the leaves of aloe vera plants, with a few preservatives added. However, it can make your skin softer and healthier. I do use it on my face. Be careful to not get it too close to your eyes. I always close my eyes for a few minutes after applying it. It will cause a burning sensation to your eyes.

I used aloe vera gel and it worked great (also tried distilled water but did not work at all). EDITED: it only dissolved well when I used 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel and 1/2 tsp of ascorbic acid. When I tried to dissolve a full teaspoon into 1 tablespoon of aloe vera it didn't dissolve near as well.

I've gotten in to a running dialogue with Bonide on what plants its safe to use on. They say its safe for all plants. Thing is, I used it on my Epiphyllums and several weaks later they did not look well at all. They are slowly coming back. I did see leaf drop and leaf discoloration on other plants after using it. I can say there are no bugs. I hate dealing with scale which is the reason I decided to give it a try.

I have not had the Natural Tropical Tanner so I don't know. I really like the True Natural Self Tanner for use on my face.

Hello from another LHC member, thinking along the same lines as you... I read the catnip thread and it said the kind with flowers and stems is usually cheaper than all leaves. The flowers contain more oils. The leaves are more astringent. I can't tell if this has all leaves or flowers and stems as well. If you get it, will you please tell me (LauraLongLocks) if it works? Thanks! I have tons of split ends and I hope this will prevent future ones.

Same thing no difference it all up to how the seller chooses to word it but the bottle says "vitamin e and aloe vera". The one that has argan oil is different

I have tried a thicker clear aloe vera gel with my RF facial machine. It seemed to work, but I didn't get the results I was used to with medical ultrasound gel. Also, aloe vera gel absorbs into your skin and dries faster so it's kind of a pain. I wouldn't bother. Maybe you could mix a little of this stuff into your regular gel. I think I'll try that, and get back to you.

Aloe is the first ingredient listed on my bottle. Maybe you have one of the other DermOrganic products? The bottles can have the same looking label.

I do not know. I have never used the aloe vera from the plant. This is my first time using it from the bottle. I think fresh would always be better. It probably lasts longer. I don't think it expires. Manufacturer assured me that the preservatives are all natural as well.

Just to be clear for anyone else looking at this product placement, the "Deep Clean" variant DOES have an exfoliating agent, whereas the "Extra Fresh" does not. I gather that most of the answers assumed that "JonNJensenPhD" was asking about the "Extra Fresh," but wanted to clarify for anyone considering the "Deep Clean."

i double checked the ingredients and it is just 100% of that particular kind of aloe they list...this alternative kind of aloe plant is why is doesn't taste like the average aloe juice. I love it.
